Definitions

  • the present invention relates to licensing software. More particularity, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transferring access privileges for executing a licensed software program from an authorized node having a first hardware agent to a non-authorized node having a second hardware agent without violating a specific-user license.
  • a "user-specific” license generally permits a predetermined number of individuals to operate a particular software program in a specific manner at any given time.
  • the license is associated with the select number of individuals and not to certain nodes.
  • a "node” is defined as an hardware product having "intelligence” such as a computer, printer, facsimile machine and the like, preferably including the present invention.
  • a paramount problem associated with user-specific software licenses is that it indirectly encourages unauthorized usage and /or copying of the licensed software which erodes potential licensing revenue for software developers.
  • a dongle is a physical hardware device that is packaged with the licensed software program when initially purchased. It typically couples to a parallel port of a node e.g., a personal computer. At various times during execution, the licensed software program of interest will transmit an authorization message (referred to as a "challenge") to an active device employed within the dongle.
  • the active device within the dongle processes the challenge using secret information (hereinafter referred to as a "valid license token”) stored internally within the dongle and generates a return message (referred to as a "response").
  • the software program compares this response to an expected response and permits further execution only if these responses are identical.
  • the dongles ensure compliance with the user-specific license, it affords a number of disadvantages.
  • One disadvantage is that the dongle must be physically delivered to the customer.
  • content distribution systems for electronic delivery of software
  • the dongle as a physical device, still requires the traditional distribution methodology with its associated costs.
  • the customer would have to endure the onerous task of (i) directly obtaining the dongle at a chosen location and thereafter attaching the dongle to the node before being able to use the licensed software program, or (ii) ordering the licensed software program prior to its intended use so that the content distributor has time to mail the dongle to the customer. In any event, the dongle impedes the efficiency and appealability of content distribution.
  • Another disadvantage is that the removal and attachment of the dongle is a time-consuming process. In a time-sensitive business, the exchange of the dongle effects the overall performance of the business. A further disadvantage is continual removal and attachment of the dongle increases the likelihood of the dongle becoming damaged and non-functional, requiring the business to await the new dongle before being able to use the software application again.
  • the dongle although the license is directed toward individuals, the dongle generally is attached to the node. Thus, if the user travels to another machine (e.g., a personal computer located at his or her home), he or she is precluded from using the licensed software program unless the user has possession of the dongle.

  • It is another object of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit component capable of internally generating a unique public /private key pair and storing at least the private key thereby preventing its usage outside the integrated circuit component.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit component for internally storing the public key of an entity in order to enable secured communications with another similar integrated circuit components verified or fabricated by the entity.

  • the non-volatile memory also may be used for storing cryptographic algorithms.
  • the integrated circuit component further includes volatile memory for storage of information processed by the processing unit, an interface in order to receive information in encrypted or decrypted format from and /or transmit information to other similar component(s) via a communication bus and a random number generator for producing the unique public/private key pair.

In other instances, well-known circuits, elements and the like are not set forth in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.
  • a “key” is an encoding and /or decoding parameter for a conventional cryptographic algorithm. More specifically, the key is a sequential distribution ("string") of binary data being “n” bits in length, where "n” is an arbitrary number.
  • a “message” is generally defined as information (e.g., encrypted keys address and data) being transferred in a sequence of bus cycles. The information may include a challenge or a return response.
  • a "digital certificate” is defined as any information pertaining to an entity initiating communications, typically its public key, encrypted through use of a private key by a widely published trusted authority (e.g., bank, governmental entity, trade association, etc.).
  • a “digital signature” is similar to a digital certificate but is used for authentication of the message itself, not the sender.

  • a public domain 25 such as a telephone lines and the like
  • this technique is difficult to support with a large number of users because it requires prior establishment of secret keys ("SK").
  • asymmetric key technique employs two separate keys (referred to as a "public key” and “private key”) being used separately for encryption and decryption purposes.

  • this technique is susceptible to attempts by an illegitimate entity (e.g., commercial spy) to impersonate a legitimate entity (e.g., employee, joint-venturer, etc.) by sending fraudulent messages to another legitimate entity for the purpose of disrupting work flow or obtaining confidential information.
  • illegitimate entity e.g., commercial spy
  • impersonate a legitimate entity e.g., employee, joint-venturer, etc.
  • additional protocols are commonly used to authenticate a message and legitimize the entity sending the message.
  • Authentication of the sender is a problem when communications are initially established between previously unknown parties. This problem is commonly avoided by incorporating a digital certificate 45 within a transmission message 50.
  • the digital certificate 45 is issued by a mutually trusted authority 55 (e.g., a bank, governmental entity, trade association, etc.) by encrypting a public key of the node initiating the communications ("PUK1") 11 with a signature statement (labeled "SM") 58 with a private key (“PRKTA”) 57 of the trusted authority 55 so that fraudulent attempts to use PUK2 16 will simply result in an unreadable response to the transmission message by its recipient.
  • a mutually trusted authority 55 e.g., a bank, governmental entity, trade association, etc.
  • PRKTA private key
  • the selected trusted authority 55 depends on the parties involved. For example, two individuals employed by the same business could both trust the certificates issued by a corporate security office of the business. Employees of two independent business entities, however, would require not only the certificates from the respective security offices, but also the certificates from, for example, some industry trade organization that certifies such business entities.

Otherwise, in Steps 260- 290, a challenge /response procedure similar to Steps 225-260 is conducted to verify that the second hardware agent is in fact receiving the information transmitted from the first hardware agent. Successful completion of these steps (225-290) assures that both hardware agents are authentic and communications between them are secure (Step 295).
  • Step 300 the first hardware agent queries the second hardware agent as to whether it has possession of a valid license token (Step 300). If the system incorporating the second hardware agent does not have the valid license token (Step 305), communications between the hardware agents are terminated (Step 310). However, if the system incorporating the second hardware agent has the valid license token, it transmits a message to the first hardware agent accordingly (Step 315).
  • the first hardware agent Upon receiving this message, the first hardware agent initiates a transfer request of the valid license token allowing the first hardware agent to operate the licensed software application (Step 320).
  • the second hardware agent responds to the transfer request by transferring the valid license token causing it to lose its license privileges (Step 325).
  • the first hardware agent receives the valid license token and stores the token within the its non-volatile memory and thereafter, it would transmit a message to the second hardware agent that it has received the valid license token enabling its copy of the licensed software (Step 330). At this point, communications would be terminated (Step 335).
  • each hardware agent Concurrently with the communication between the first and second hardware agents, each hardware agent would store the contents of its transmissions in non-volatile memory as an audit log. Thus, in case communications are disconnected after the second hardware agent disabled its copy but before the first hardware agent enabled its copy, both hardware agents could review the audit logs after communications are re-connected to determine which hardware agent (if any) has authorization to operate the licensed software application.
